Powers of an Individual Judge to Deal with Contempt or Other Misconduct Not Affected

Disciplinary proceedings under Rule 83-3 shall not affect, or be affected by, any proceedings for criminal contempt under the U.S. Criminal Code, nor shall anything contained in this Rule 83-3 be construed to deny any judge of this Court said judge’s inherent power to maintain control over the proceedings conducted before said judge, nor to deny the judge those powers derived from any statute or rule of court. Misconduct of any attorney in the presence of a court or in any manner in respect to any matter pending in a court may be dealt with directly by the judge in charge of the matter or at said judge’s option, referred to the Committee, or both.
